Black Beach

Black Beach, located in Silver Bay, Minnesota, along the North Shore of Lake Superior, is renowned for its unique black sands, a result of taconite tailings from the region's iron ore processing. This picturesque destination attracts visitors with its warm, sun-soaked black sand, opportunities for picnicking, swimming, kayaking, and photography against the backdrop of Lake Superior's crystal-clear waters. The area is enriched by its proximity to hiking trails, state parks, and waterfalls, making it a perfect spot for nature enthusiasts.
